Default the new guy

i guess i'll be the new guy for the day I purchased my yellow 99 frc back in december of 03 in socal for around $23000 since then i've added borla stingers, blackwing intake, black z06 motorsport wheels, nitto555r in the rear, and lowered 1" all around. must say i love my car only use it on the weekends and on the occasional trip down to the local 1/8 track i must say i didn't know how expensive these toys were until i really got into it, but for the performance and fun that you get out of these cars it is worth every pennie i love my vette ........oh and i also bought it myself no mommy and daddy money
